NO BEL AIR WALMART - IMPORTANT DATES!

No Bel Air Wal-Mart

If you have not participated in writing e-mails, attending rallies and county meetings, this is your last chance to stand up for your community! Don’t allow a corporate intruder to determine your quality of life. They don’t live here, we do!

Two important dates:

April 25th, Saturday, 10 AM to 1 PM at Festival. There will be a rally at Festival Shopping Center on Bel Air South Parkway. “No Bel Air Walmart” signs will be provided. This rally will set the tone for the meeting below. Park in Festival parking lot but leave choice spots for merchants/customers.

April 30th, Thursday, 7:30 PM at Patterson Mill HS. There will be a Wal-Mart Community Information Meeting at Patterson Mill Middle High School. Delegate Susan McComas has invited representatives from Harford County, the State Highway Administration and Wal-Mart to answer the community’s questions regarding the proposed store and associated traffic issues.

Both of the events above require your support! We have held Wal-Mart off for three years but your help is needed to close the deal. We need overwhelming community involvement and community involvement requires YOUR involvement! Don’t leave it for someone else to do. If you are concerned about the future of our community, your attendance is mandatory.

Let’s flood Bel Air South Parkway this Saturday and fill the Patterson Mill auditorium on the 30th. Please pass the word via mouth and social media.

See you there!
